TitleJohn Billingsley at Mansfield to his uncle (Obadiah Bourne) - I have discussed your letter with a friend or two and they are against my taking part of the close as the division is likely to be contested by my cousins when they come of age - they think it best to pay the legacy and have the whole made over to me - I like this better as I hope to sell it again to cousin Samuell - if I am to seal you a lease of the mine, I must be answered that my cousin will not meddle with it and I have told him you are willing to recede from your right - I mean to come to Ashover on Tuesday seven-night - Samuel Wheatcofte has not paid his Christmas rent - a baker's house burned down this morning
